For drivers focused on drivetrain refinement, the Tamiya 42320 Lightweight Joint Casings provide a precision aluminium option. These housings replace standard steel parts in Double Cardan universal shafts to lower weight while maintaining functional strength.
The casings weigh about 1.2 grams per pair, delivering roughly a 2 gram saving compared with steel equivalents. Reduced rotating mass can improve throttle response and make the car feel more agile through transitions.
These casings are compatible with touring car chassis using Double Cardan Joint Shafts, such as part numbers 42216 and 42300. For further mass reduction use them alongside Tamiya lightweight cross joints (Item 42319).
